Text engl. - „Assembles the photographer's most compelling images of travellers, flight attendants, airport waiting rooms, airplanes on runways, and all the people and places in between. These images were taken over a period of 25 years between 1958 and 1983.“

Includes a list of plates. Printed by Meridian Printing from separations made by Thomas Palmer. - From the publisher: "In Sticks & Stones, Lee Friedlander offers his view of America as seen through its architecture. In 192 square-format pictures shot over the past 15 years, Friedlander has framed the familiar through his own unique way of seeing the world. Whether he's representing modest vernacular buildings or monumental skyscrapers, Friedlander liberates them from our preconceived notions and gives us a new way of looking at our surrounding environment. Shot during the course of countless trips to urban and rural areas across the country, many of them made by car (the driver's window sometimes providing Friedlander with an extra frame), these pictures capture an America as unblemished by romanticized notions of human nature as it is full of quirky human touches. Nevertheless, man's presence is not at stake here; streets, roads, façades, and buildings offer their own visual intrigue, without reference to their makers. And in the end, it is not even the grand buildings themselves that prick our interest, but rather the forgettable architectural elements--the poles, posts, sidewalks, fences, phone booths, alleys, parked cars - that through photographic juxtaposition with all kinds of buildings help us to discover the spirit of an Architectural America."

Text engl. - „Die Panoramafotografie gehört zu den faszinierendsten Techniken für Fotografen. Der Blickwinkel ist dem des menschlichen Auges eindeutig überlegen, deshalb erweitern Panoramafotografien unseren Blick und deshalb faszinieren uns Panoramen, seien sie quer- oder hochformatig, auch so außerordentlich. Lee Frost erläutert die Panoramafotografie auf dem neuesten Stand analoger und digitaler Technik. Er stellt die Palette der zur Verfügung stehenden Panoramakameras mit ihren Besonderheiten und Eigenheiten und wichtiges Zubehör vor. Ausführlich wird die Bildgestaltung für horizontale und für vertikale Bilder dargestellt. Der Belichtungsmessung, schwierigen ufnahemsituationen und Kreativtechniken ist jeweils ein Kapitel gewidmet. Auch Panoramen, die aus mehreren Einzelbildern zusammengesetzt werden, stellt der Autor vor - hier kommt vor allem die digitale Bildebearbeitung zum Zuge. Der Band schließt mit Ausführungen zu den unterschiedlichen Präsentatiosmöglichkeiten für Panoramafotografien. In den vielen, hervorragenden Bildbeispielen wird die ganze Faszination der Panoramafotografie deutlich und sie zeigen auch, welche Motive sich ganz besonders eignen.“ (N. Buchh.
